Re: Probability problem.
Hi bobbym,
"Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense" - Buddha?

Re: Probability problem.
Hi;
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

Re: Probability problem.
New problem:
There are 2 blue balls, 4 green balls, 8 white balls, 16 red balls and 32 black balls.
What is the probability of picking 5 balls, such that at most two balls of each color is to be included (e.g. [red, red, green, green, black] is fine; but [red, red, red, green, black] is forbidden)
i) Without replacement?
ii) With replacement?

Re: Probability problem.
Hi;
Okay, I will check the calculations. Could have made the mistake right there.
Yep, you are right. Calculation error.

Hi gAr;
Sorry, for the first answer. Seems I can not copy and paste correctly into calculation boxes, been a bad week.

No problem, things will get better.

Re: Probability problem.
Three balls are thrown into eight boxes that are lined up in a row. What is the probability of two balls landing in the same box and the next one landing in another box? Balls always land in a box.
